Speakers:

Brandon Wrencher is a minister, organizer, and facilitator working across the US within faith, education, and non-profit sectors at the intersections of decolonizing church, contemplative activism, and local presence to build beloved communities. He is a serial innovator and church planter whose latest venture is starting The Good Neighbor Movement, an inclusive, multiracial, justice-seeking, people of color led network of house churches in North Carolina. Brandon is a provisional elder in the Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church and serves on several local and national faith-based social justice committees and boards. Rooted in his formation in the Black Church, Brandon's visionary leadership has spanned rural, small town and urban communities in North Carolina and Chicago. he writes for Sojourners, The Other Journal, Mission Alliance and other publications.

Jason Evans is the Missioner for Missional Communities in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, where he helps others start new Christian communities and teaches mission theory and practice at the Iona School for Ministry.  He has over 20 years of experience at starting missional communities–Christian communities that exist for those who cannot, or will not, participate in a traditional church–in a variety of contexts. This work has been profiled in books such as Jim and Casper Go To Church, Street Crossers, Emerging Churches and Emerging Worship.
